yeah it doesnt seem to run under 15. but one it gets over 15 it takes off. could this be in need of a carburator clean?

Clean carb, air filter(replace if not half inch thick and spongy), and clean two ports on airbox lid. Do a plug chop.

Stop right there. Don't run it again until you get a filter, AND clean out the air box and the carb. You run the risk of frying the motor running without a filter, and undoubtedly your carb has sucked in some of the old filter (bad).

The motor will run lean and slowly melt internally if run without a filter not to mention all the dirt and bugs it will suck in.
